VERY cool!
The chorus freaking rocks!!!
The new guy (the guy that isn't Chris Parnell) needs to do whatever he can to NOT look like Ashton Kutcher's stunt double from That 70's Show because well... he does.

Andy Samberg came from the Lonely Island crew and his two other collaborators are now SNL writers. With the previous raps Parnell has done, it seems a perfect fit that they've used him for a short. Great fucking song.

Here you can see some of their earlier raps (minus Parnell of course):

I doubt it. As far as sketch comedy goes, SNL is probably one of the worst. Used to be alright, funny on and off for years. But, I found it pathetic over the last few years and subsequently tuned out. Hopefully this skit was good, but SNL will have to work very hard to get me to tune in again.

Magnolia cupcakes are the shit. No joke, it's all about the classic, chocolate with yellow cake. If you live in NY and haven't tasted one (small chance) then run, don't walk, to these cupcakes. Goddamn, a tasty treat.

My folks are both from Philly and I lived there a year and a few months as a kid. My dad was in 'Nam at the time. Tastykakes were the snack cakes for all, along with Drake's Cakes (out of New Jersey).

Tastykakes cupcakes were fantastic, but I loved me some Drake's Devil Dogs. Imagine my shock several years ago when I got my hands on a package and learned their devil's food cake is drier than loose dirt.

Another childhood memory ruined.

ok, so the quality of the comedy on the show is up and down (as usual). but for the most part, for the last several years, i have been apalled at the lack of quality of musical guests. generally speaking, snl has gone from being a place where you would see irreverant, cutting edge musical acts to a late night edition of trl. so i found it to be very interesting, as well as out of character to see a band like "the bad plus" get booked a week after the fucking strokes (i can feel ires raising). jazz?!? on tv thats not on pbs or bet on jazz? wow. is lorne michaels in the hospital or something. oh wait, i get it, omarion, the darkness, and avril were all booked that week right? thats it. the bad plus mustve been sleeping under the awning at 30 rock, and every other mtv band declined. oh well, ill be watching.

I guess I'll take you at your word. I was sort of thinking the same thing you are, except my inner monologue was slightly different. It went something like this: "Who the hell are The Bad Plus?! Lorne usually books acts with name recognition. These guys must be pretty good if they're playing SNL and nobody's ever heard of them."

Lorne Michaels is the head honcho, the producer(?) of SNL. TRL, or "Total Request Live", is a show on MTV that replays the ten most-requested songs of the day. And The Bad Plus is apparently a jazz band.

LOL. Those ^^^ were the 2 I was thinking of. I don't like VR that much, but Audioslave... Cornell and Morello are gods among men, and any show that pretends to be musically conscious and hasn't booked a band consisting of the greatest rock singer of the last 20 years and one of the greatest guitarists is fucking ALF.
